Decentralized french cooperation for water in Palestine

The decentralized cooperation focuses mainly on sharing expertise and building capacities within the Palestinian municipalities and joint services councils. These partnerships between local authorities strengthen the management of water and sanitation services in Palestine through various components, including technical assistance. The commitment of French communities in Palestine is remarkable, and is particularly enhanced by mutual trust and understanding of the urgent priorities.

The French ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Palestinian Ministries of Planning and Local Government signed an agreement for the launch of a French-Palestinian joint fund to support decentralized cooperation projects during the year 2014.
